It was designed by the American sculptor Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney and donated to Spain by the United States in 1929. The sculpture, in Cubist style and inspired by Egypt, is 37 metres high and represents a Franciscan friar from the Monastery of La Rábida. This friar welcomed Christopher Columbus while he was planning his first voyage and awaiting confirmation of funding from the Spanish monarchs. The pedestal of the monument includes reliefs depicting Mayan, Aztec, Inca and Christian elements.

The Paseo Maritimo de la Ría in Huelva is a beautiful promenade that runs along the Odiel River. Opened in 2016, this promenade has become a modern symbol of the city. It offers a perfect place to walk, cycle or simply enjoy the panoramic views of the river and the city.

The Muelle de las Carabelas is a museum located in La Rábida, in Palos de la Frontera, Huelva. This museum houses replicas of the three caravels used by Christopher Columbus on his first voyage to the American continent: the Niña, the Pinta and the Santa María. The replicas were built in 1992 to commemorate the 5th Centenary of the Discovery of America.

A very interesting museum with original replicas of Christopher Columbus' ships. You can look at everything in detail and get a feeling of what it was like in those times.

We find its origin in the purchase of mining operations in Huelva by the Rio Tinto Company Limited in 1873, which brought an important development for the province of Huelva. The transport of minerals from the mining basin to the port of Huelva to be able to unload them required the construction of this dock, which was built between 1874 and 1876. The construction was designed by the English engineers Sir George Barclay Bruce and Thomas Gibson, who planned it with two platforms, an upper one where mineral trains ran and a lower one for freight trains.
